Chaotic Entropy

Why do I feel suspicious…

It’s going to be a fun historical period to look back on when there are just huge gaps where IP/product control became so powerful that no record of certain things were allowed to exist.

I’ve asked one question, one time in those comments and it just got buried in people spitting venom at each other about their file system preferences.

Isn’t that just spyware with extra steps?

We live in hope.

I can see why the husband of a loathsome racist might think that.

It’s the thing you only tell your “ride-or-die bitch” server.

They did it explicitly so that they could make Labour look bad when they have to cancel all the things they lied about offering to voters.

“In IT” could mean anything from first line support worker to software project manager to network engineer. Can you be more specific…?

It feels like the crypto mining goldrush really changed the way GPU manufacturers view the market.

Presumably they wanted something a bit more thorough and clear than a table of numbers with no information besides:

These tests were done on various hardware running games, both old and new, with and without the new driver being active.

A lot of areas have labour wins with other lefter leaning candidates aggressively nipping at their heels, despite a monumental imbalance in funding. Come the next election cycle I can see Labour getting a rather rude awakening, but we’ll see if they take that seriously or not.

“Think of how much damage, in the wake of 14 years of mismanagement, an even more left wing party might do! Never again!”

“Don’t say caviar sandwiches. Don’t say caviar sandwiches.” sweats profusely

Yeah… way to bury the lead. Why in the world would his team agree to put him on at the same time.

Would you have said the same of UKIP?

I kind of hate that this distinctly centre-right version of a labour party is going to consider themselves as given a mandate to fill their centre-right boots, despite the fact that they’re only as powerful as they are because of how utterly toxic the Tory party have become. Largely from chasing the same ends that this labour government will likely continue to chase.

Did you remember to wish upon a star during install?

Exactly.

I’m going to try to take this in the spirit that it was provided, but you’re using a lot of "…"s, and a lot of implications that what I’m saying is obvious, for a person trying to provide earnest assistance. I wasn’t requesting technical support or expressing surprise at these things, I was merely expressing that these were the things I was generally encountering difficulty with my transition to Linux as a daily driver.

The DisplayLink driver for instance is running, and basically functional, but ends up running slowly, with distortions, and instability. It also isn’t signed, so my plan to still run Secure Boot with the distro I’m using alongside Windows is out (without a lot of faff), but that largely won’t matter excusing some specific work setups that I don’t currently have to worry about. Having useful AMD specific driver level tools on Windows that don’t exist in Linux isn’t a surprise, it is a discouragement.

Forum content and non-Reddit content are a pain to locate, especially when you don’t know how to frame your problem in Linux syntax, as you say. Communities are either open but in specific places that I will never find without already knowing about it, or happening in places that aren’t accessible without having already joined, like the Discord of the specific software I need guidance on. My experience has been that there is basic info and there is advanced info out there, but intermediate info that lets you bridge the gap is a challenge to locate, especially with subtle differences in certain steps that are distro/package manager specific. Yet I press on.
